During the process of recombination in cell development, which enzyme is primarily responsible for the introduction of double-strand breaks at the recombination signal sequences?

  1. A.Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase
  2. B. and recombinase complex
  3. C. ligase
  4. D.Artemis endonuclease
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution

Correct answer: B and recombinase complex

Solution

  1. recombination is essential for generating antibody diversity.
  2. The process is initiated by the and proteins.
  3. These proteins recognize recombination signal sequences and catalyze the cleavage of the backbone.
  4. Hence the answer is (B).
